Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev scribbled a note on the inside wall of a boat where he was captured, saying that the April 15 attack was in retaliation for Muslims killed by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to media reports.

CBS News' John Miller, quoting law enforcement sources, first reported that 19-year-old Tsarnaev -- who was badly wounded in a police shootout three days after the bombings -- also wrote that he would not miss his older brother, Tamerlan, who had been killed only hours before, because he was a martyr in paradise and that he would be joining him soon.
